Question:
Shaykh, finally, he says: We always read "No drowsiness overtakes Him, nor sleep." What is the drowsiness and what is the sleep in the verse?

Answer:
This is a description of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep.اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ
[Al-Baqarah 2:255]
. The drowsiness is the beginning of sleep, which is drowsiness. Drowsiness. And the sleep is deep sleep. Allah is free from this, for He is the Living, the Perfect in life, the Self-Sustaining, who manages the affairs of His servants and arranges them, Blessed and Exalted is He. Yes.
